Hey guys!! Wow, this took me a while to compile O.o I chose and scrapped words for like a week before this all came together lol. Same thing applies: all genres, all pairings, and all the awesome-ness in between!! Hope you all like it!! :D

1. Fall

There's a burst of adrenaline when you feel yourself free-falling at one hundred miles per second. The air rushing past you, your breath hitching in your throat as gravity makes you its own. The ground looms before you, dry and arid, and there's an eerie silence as a feeling of euphoria envelopes you like the rapidly passing atmosphere. At the very last second you pull the cord on your parachute, the fall halting almost immediately. Your body jerks against the harness, sudden, violent, and you live for moments like this.

2. Fuck

They were screwed. No, actually, they were beyond screwed. Being screwed involved at least a slight glimmer of hope in the near future. They were totally, undeniably, and unquestionably screwed. Jim kept his arm wrapped tightly around the tactical Officer's waist, probably the only thing keeping him upright. Chekov made a small sound but he was nowhere near consciousness, the nasty head wound pretty much guaranteed that. Their communications systems were down, as was transport, so there was no way to locate the missing team members. The ground was crumbling beneath them, hot magma pooling and bubbling to the surface. Jim muttered the only word that could sum up the situation accurately, "Fuck…"

3. Fort

The first time McCoy ever introduced Jim to Joanna, they took an immediate liking to one another. Joanna grabbed Jim's hand with her tiny one and drug him all over the house, Jim following like an obedient lap dog. That night they built a fort in the living room; years of Starfleet engineering had paid off to make the most awesome fort ever to grace that house. McCoy wanted to complain that his "Captain" was keeping his daughter up way past her bedtime but as they popped in yet another Disney movie into the TV, he found that he didn't have much to say after all.

4. Fencing

Sulu is incredible when it comes to fencing. He'd studied the sport since he was a child, mastering every move and stance by the age of 13. He could whip a blade out of his opponent's hand quicker than the other person could blink. He was lithe, limber, and deadly as hell. Kirk had almost laughed when he first found out the Helmsman's talent but now he was glad that he hadn't.

5. Fade

There was a shudder below him as his leg's gave out. Someone caught him, he wasn't sure who, it was too hard to concentrate when you couldn't breathe. He had gone down to sick bay to get medicine for a migraine and one of the younger, less experienced nurses had given him a hypo instead. She wasn't aware that the Captain was allergic to nearly everything in the medical bay and that anaphylactic shock usually occurred when any such drug was administered. He gasped, vision blurring as sirens wailed above him. Someone was holding onto him, brown eyes focused worriedly down at him. He knew he must be dying; Vulcan's never worried about anything. Someone was calling his name but he couldn't hear them as the world faded away.

6. Flora

Chekov is absolutely, positively, never allowed to go on an away mission when a verigas nitripoli fern is present. Apparently, his allergy to the plant is so bad that even being in the same stratosphere causes him to break out in huge welts and hives all over his body. The mission is quick, lasting only a few hours, but its enough to land the tactical officer in the sick bay for the rest of he journey.

7. Fauna

Scotty is absolutely, positively, never allowed to go on an away mission where he can be in contact with the native animals of that planet. He has a bad habit of touching things, being an engineer makes one extremely tactile, and on one of the last missions that proved especially dangerous. Apparently the words "don't touch" don't apply to the acid-spitting tree frogs of Tranus VI. A few acid burns and some dissolved clothing later, the wild-eyed, yet grinning engineer got the point.

8. Football

Jim made it his personal goal to teach Spock everything there was to know about football when they were on shore leave. He found an old, pigskin football, running shoes and an open field and was determined that, by the end of the day, his science officer would know how to play the game. It'd incredibly hard to play foot ball when said science officer dissects the football the second he puts his hands on it, determined to see the interior of the ball. This may be a little harder than he thought…

9. Flask

It shouldn't have been surprising, but off all the things Scotty has ever been proud of (trans-warp beaming aside) his collection of flasks is his most prized possession. He has 76, one from nearly every country in the world, a few from neighboring planets, and few he isn't even sure where they came from. He collects them purely for the fun of it, none have ever been used, except for the one he keeps on his hip. Even that one he'd not sure where it came from.

10. Feline

If Spock had to describe Uhura in one word, it would have to be cat-like. She moves with an unusual grace that he's never seen in any other Earth woman, her dark eyes wide and slightly elongated, vaguely feline. She arches her back and stretches up slowly in the morning, her body uncurling like a panther's. Yes, she's cat-like. She even purrs like a cat in the right circumstances but that's a personal matter he refuses to discuss.

11. Gin

Jim has an incredible amount of respect for Scotty. Its not because the man mastered the theory of trans-warp beaming (though that is pretty incredible) or that he can handle just about any situation with a smile. No, it's the fact that Montgomery Scott is the only man Jim had ever known who can take a shot of Gin without wincing; hell, the man can finish an entire bottle without even batting an eye. Jim's a good drinker but he's not that good. Scott has him completely whipped on the Gin scale.

12. Gaila

Gaila was the only woman Jim had ever felt comfortable enough with the sleep with more than once. He hated being tied down, hated the idea of becoming attached when things could change in the blink of an eye, but she was different. She made him feel…happy. The years of one-night stands from one bar floozy to the next were beginning to fade as he leaned down the kiss her once more. She whispered his name and he smiled. Gaila was different.

13. Gentle

It had been one year; one full year since the destruction of Vulcan. He stared silently out into the stars, looking for a planet that would never be there. His face betrayed no emotion but it was easy to tell what he was thinking. She approached him silently, arms behind her back as if afraid to touch him. When she did, it was soft, reassuring, gentle. Her fingers ghosted over his arms and back, finally resting in between his shoulder blades. She rested her head against his shoulder lightly, not pushing any further. The stars stretched on endlessly and they watched.

14. Green

Red mixed with green, dripping onto his face and pooling in the torn fabric of his shirt. It wasn't a gross green color, like the aliens in the old sci-fi movies; no, this was more of an emerald green color, a shimmering jade that mixed in with dark red the covered his body. Spock was bleeding pretty badly, but then again, so was he. Red mixed with green again, swirling and intertwining. Funny, it almost reminded him of Christmas. He would have laughed if there hadn't been a hole in his stomach.

15. Gas

Jim sat alone in front of the Academy, staring at the yawning openness of space above him. He took another swig of the bottle at his side, staring up again. His mother had called today and the same arguments ensued and he was trying to forget it all. At some point, Spock appeared on the steps and sat down slowly, inquiring as to the Captain's behavior. Instead of answering, Jim said that when he was little, he used to believe that whenever he was having a bad day, the stars would wink at him, almost like his father looking down, and he would feel better. Spock considered this and deemed it quite illogical as stars are actually giant balls of gas that flicker and pulse at random intervals. Jim called him a killjoy and continued drinking.

16. Garnet

Uhura doesn't wear a lot of jewelry, she feels its distracting and gets in the way easily. She does, however, wear a necklace with a small garnet stone attached to the chain. It was her grandmother's something she'd had since she was a little girl and had never gotten rid of. It's kept tucked neatly into her uniform at all times but it never comes off.

17. Goat

Growing up, Chekov had a pet goat named Kevin. There was no real rhyme or reason for it, just a simple little billie goat that lived in the backyard of his parent's house. When asked why he named the goat Kevin, he simply shrugged and said "why not?"

18. Gravity

Occasionally, when going through certain quadrants of the galaxy, the artificial gravity begins to act up and the crew members of the Enterprise are sent floating around the ship like human-sized helium balloons. Anything not bolted to the floor or strapped down is victim to this occurrence and it can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. This is a problem because no one really knows when to expect the fall.

19. Gaunt

Occasionally, during moments of intense tactical planning and study, Chekov will forget to eat. It usually lasts for a few days before anyone notices. Anytime someone asks him if he's alright, he smiles and waves them off slightly, intent of finishing what he's working on. Its not until he begins looking pale and gaunt that Sulu scoops him over one shoulder and literally hauls him into the dining hall.

20. Hatch

It was unsure how the eggs got into the engine room or exactly how long they had been there, all that was known was that they hatched and now there was a batch of lizard-chickens running around the ship. They'd managed to catch most of them, locking them in a glorified laundry hamper until it could be decided what to do with them. They were cute actually, long scaly bodies with downy wings and orange beaks. They couldn't keep them on the ship though, there was always the chance it could turn out like the fabled Tribble Incident.

21. Hangover

There are few things worse than a raging hangover. The headache, the body aches, everything hurt, and it felt like you'd swallowed a handful of steel wool the day after. Jim winced, opening his eyes slowly and looking around the room. Tables and chairs were overturned, various bottles and cans scattered all over the floor. McCoy was half-off the bed, his face a mess of marker and pen, his shirt missing in action. As far as hangovers went, this one was turning out pretty good.

22. Hip

Uhura has birthmark in the shape of a hear ton her hip. Only three people on the ship have ever (or will ever) seen it: Spock, obviously, McCoy, for medical purposes, and Jim Kirk. Jim happened to stumble in on her changing one day and spent the rest of the day with a blazing handprint on his cheek.

23. Heartbeat

He wakes with a jolt, the sudden return to consciousness unwelcome and unexpected. He'd had a nightmare again, one that can't be remembered but leaves you trembling and breathing unevenly. He looks around the room, disoriented in the darkness. Its late, he doesn't have to be up for five more hours. The body next to him shifts slightly, a hand touching his side, comforting and welcome. With a soft sigh, he sinks back into the mattress, head resting against his lover's chest. In the engulfing darkness, it the slow, even heartbeat and the fingers carding through his hair that send him back to sleep.

24. Hobgoblin

One day Spock asked McCoy why he always mutters the word hobgoblin anytime he's around. McCoy just shrugs, saying Spock remind him of some kind of imp or elf with his pointed ears. Spock goes on to explain that pointed ears are a traditional Vulcan trait and how its passed down from one generation to the next through dominant genetics. McCoy walks away calling him a hobgoblin again.

25. Hiccups

Sulu has an unusual problem when it comes to hiccups. His don't last a few minutes or a few hours, they usually last a few days. It doesn't happen often but when it does its damn annoying. The last bout lasted close to week before it was all over with. The crew tried everything from traditional remedies to some not so traditional remedies (ie. Hanging upside down, drinking water, and swinging back and forth). In the end, it took a sudden kiss from Chekov to shock him out of the hiccupping fit. Actually, hiccups didn't sound so bad anymore.

26. Hippocampus

One day, when Jim was flipping through some of McCoy's old medical books, he found the word hippocampus and thought it was by far the most interesting word he'd ever seen. For the rest of the week, his pick up line in bars would be asking women if they'd like to see his large hippocampus. He was incredibly disappointed when McCoy told him it referred to the brain.

27. Hover

McCoy has a bad habit of hovering anytime Jim manages to hurt himself (which is more often than not). He grumbles and gripes about it often enough but truth be told, he'd rather hover than do nothing. He'd been looking after Jim since the first day at the Academy and he didn't plan on stopping anytime soon. Lord knows the younger man would probably self-destruct if he ever did.

28. Hypnotic

The streak of stars as the Enterprise zipped into warp speed was mesmerizing. Billions of stars and planets whipped by in a blur, stretching forward and backwards endlessly. Staring for too long had a hypnotizing effect; Jim would sometimes break off mid-sentence to stare out at the space streaking around them.

29. Hyperventilate

He can't breathe; well, he can but its coming way too fast and not fast enough at the same time. He'd gotten the message this morning: Sam was dead. His older brother, the boy he'd looked up to for years, was dead. Some stupid bar fight had gone south and he ended up with a bullet in the heart. He was gone. Jim struggles to breathe, his chest heaving with each breath and struggling to hold on to the air he felt he couldn't get into his lungs. He feels the cold pavement beneath his knees and he's grasping the desk with every ounce of strength he has. Sam was gone. His brother was dead.

30. Idea

The crew of the Enterprise has gotten used to their Captain's crazy ideas. Most of the time they think there's absolutely no way it will work. The ship will fall apart around them before it works. Kirk is the kind of captain who's just crazy enough to try anything and just sane enough to believe it will work. Of every crazy idea he's ever come up with, none of them have failed yet.

31. Irritable

Scotty has a quick temper and becomes frustrated easily, especially when less experience members of the engineering department start imposing in his work space. He can handle it for a while but when the fifth ensign bumps into him, making his hand fall against the keyboard and mess up the calculations he'd been working on, he irritably grabs a wrench and chases all of them out of the room with threats of bodily harm or worse if they bother him again.

32. Influenza

Uhura hates the flu; it is by far the most debilitating thing in the entire universe. She's only had it twice in her entire life: once when she was eight and now. She's been stuck in bed for the better part of a week, miserable and ready to take McCoy up on his offer of sedation. She hates drugs and uses them only as a last resort and it was getting close to the last resort stage.

33. Isolation

One thing Jim has come to realize since finding Scotty on Delta Vega was that the engineer hates to be alone. Maybe it was because of the isolation of the ice planet he'd been marooned on or maybe there was another reason; either way, Jim can relate. When its quiet and no one is in the engine room, the engineer will often run random errands around the ship simply to have human contact.

34. Irrational

Of all the things in the universe to be afraid of, James Kirk is irrationally afraid of roaches. It makes no sense, absolutely none, but he can't stand them. The way they move, their shape, everything about them freaks him out. God forbid there's ever one on the ship or in his dorm room.

35. Insect

In his study of Earth, Spock was particularly fascinated with entomology, the study of insects. There was hundreds of different species of every size, shape, and color and he was intrigued by all of them. The one he found particularly interesting was the North American cockroach. He often wonders why Jim looks both disgusted and terrified when he manages to capture a specimen.

36. Immodest

Protocol calls for every acting member of the crew to appear on the Bridge in the event of a crisis. Drills are usually run at the Academy and occasionally onboard the ship to test response time. The orders are to stop everything immediately and report to the Bridge for further instructions. On one such drill, the crew was surprised to see their Captain arrive on the Bridge clad in nothing but a towel. Apparently clothing is unnecessary in such drills and if there's one thing Kirk doesn't have a problem with its immodesty.

37. Ivy

For father's day, Joanna bought her father an ivy plant to keep in his office. It's a puny little thing, with long, spindly vines and dark green leaves. She named it Howard. McCoy takes care of the scrawny little plant as if it's the most precious thing on the ship.

38. Itchy

Sunburns suck. Kirk didn't sunburn often but when he did, it was the most irritating thing in the world. He'd messed around and fallen asleep on the beach one day while on shore leave and had burned the entire front side of his body. The burn wasn't the worst part; it was the itching. It felt like ants were crawling all over him all the time and damn was it annoying. He ignored both Spock and McCoy's comments about lack of sunscreen when they saw him.

39. Incapacitate

He'd been up for over 72 hours with no sleep. Even after they'd made is safely away from pursuing enemy ship, he couldn't let himself sleep. There were things to be done, crew members to tend to, reports to file- There was a sharp pinch in the side of his neck and his eyes widened briefly, locking on McCoy in startled accusation. The doctor slipped the hypo back into his pocket and caught the Captain before he hit the ground.

40. Juggle

It was a useless talent really, not something to be overly proud of or excited about. He'd actually forgotten all about it until he met Joanna for the first time. The little girl had looked up at him with wide brown eyes, exactly like her fathers, and watched in amazement as Jim juggled a couple of water bottles in the living room. She'd never seen anything so incredible in her life. Okay, so maybe it wasn't such a useless talent.

41. Jasmine

Uhura really doesn't like to wear perfume all that much; she doesn't like the way most of them smell. They're all too harsh and smell like alcohol as far as she's concerned. The only one she's ever liked came in a simple blue-green glass bottle. Its little more than water and jasmine extract but it suits her perfectly. No one ever questions why Spock's clothes sometimes smell like jasmine.

42. Joanna

McCoy was honestly surprised the first time he saw Jim interact with his daughter. Apparently his inherent charm worked on Joanna just like it did every other woman Jim had ever been around. She giggled and grinned at every word he said and showed him everything in her room. McCoy hoped like hell Joanna wasn't developing a crush on him.

43. Jazz

There's a collection of music in Sulu's room; all of the classic jazz singers from the early 21st century. He loves that kind of music; the smooth lyrics, the lingering notes, all of it. When there's any free time aboard the ship, he'll listen to a few of his favorite tracks, humming along with the words. Recently, Chekov has picked a taste for jazz as well.

44. Jingle

McCoy has a bad problem with Jim slipping out of the Sick Bay and disappearing into the ship before he finishes treating him. The younger man can be deceptively stealthy when he wants to be and can disappear for hours before anyone finds him. To remedy this problem, McCoy took the liberty of sewing a tiny bell on every article of the Captain's clothing while he was asleep. So, unless he wanted to walk around the ship naked (which he very well might do), the jingling would give him away.

45. Jittery

It was quickly discovered that Scotty doesn't handle caffeine very well. He's already on a hair's trigger through most of the day but when coffee or any kind of caffeine supplement is added, he becomes ever more wired. He'll sit at his station, jittery and alert, fingers tapping rapidly on the monitors as the concoction works its way through his bloodstream. Espresso makes it ten times worse.

46. Jail

Along with his medical records, McCoy has Jim's police records. He'd been in jail once for assaulting an officer in a drunken brawl and probably should have gone a second time for hotwiring a car when he was 18. However, his record had been spotless since joining the Academy and hopefully, a single jail-stay was all he would ever have.

47. Journal

For being the CMO of one of the greatest ships in Starfleet history, Leonard McCoy really hates technology. It makes everything too complicated instead of making life easier and it takes away from the satisfaction of doing something yourself. All of his records are automated, all the machines programmed to start up immediately. He feels like he doesn't have a voice anymore. The next day Jim buy him a journal so he can remember what it sounds like.

48. Jaw

There's a glancing blow to his jaw and he stumbles ever so slightly. He squares his shoulders, straightening and focusing on his attacker. He needed to keep him busy for a few minutes longer, at least until everyone was safely onboard. He tastes blood and realizes the hit may be a little harder than he anticipated. The man lunges again and he braces himself.

49. Juice

Uhura likes grapefruit juice. Its bitter and sweet at the same time, not too much of either extreme, and its good for you, which is always a plus. When she was little she used to say it was like drinking a bad day. That philosophy hasn't changed much since then.

50. Jim

The first time Spock ever called him by his first name, Jim was so shocked he could have fallen out of his chair. Well, he could have if he wasn't falling off a cliff. The ground gave way beneath him and he had just enough time to shove the Vulcan away from the collapsing ground before he toppled over the edge. It was hard to hear anything over the crumbling of rocks above him but he was sure he heard the Vulcan cry, "JIM!"

More letters and more short-shots to come soon!! :D
